Much the same thing here, but I caught the leak before it filled the cylinders. Based on conversations with a friend who used to be a service manager at a local big four dealer, I believe current gas ethanol formulations leak past the material used for seals and gas lines on Ducs. Keep your fuel tap closed when not in use. I'll be changing all the fuel lines this week on mine.
